Paloma Navares is a pioneer in art created by women. Her work, classified by stages and series, responds to various research processes in which she investigates social themes, delves into the world of women, their rituals, customs and traditions. Her plastic language is constructed from the idea of hybridity and sustained, from its inception, in interdisciplinary practice, the assembly of techniques and supports, and the use of industrial materials. Photography, video, sound and light are unified in her installations, sculptures, objects or collages.
The works deposited and exhibited at the MACA are the installation On the Threshold of Dream, 1992-93 and Eva, a sculpture of photography and light.
These are works in which the artist works with photography, video, sound, electricity, industrial materials such as plastics, integrating the work with space and light. In the assembly, fractioned images are presented, adapted to cylindrical and transparent flat supports, all of them united to energy.
The two works belong to a series titled Fragments of the Garden of Memory where the artist integrates photography, electricity and industrial materials such as plastic, with video and sound recordings, creating and elaborating scenarios, stagings that provoke emotions full of strength by combining the effects of light and shadow with spatial interactions and iconographic resonances. Not in vain, Paloma Navares uses images from classical painting to deconstruct the stereotyped myth of woman.
